Bruce has had a love of songwriting over many years as well as a passion for playing guitar.

Along with creating jingles for advertising in his full time position as a copywriter, including Wendys and Thomas Jewellers, Bruce also has written many songs and is a more than accomplished acoustic guitarist.

His composition ‘Brilliant Life” won the Best Acoustic Song at the 2008 Australian Songwriting Awards and a second composition ‘Out Of Control’ was a runner up in the Best Contemporary Pop section.

Bruce has also written two music pieces for theatre. Firstly for a 2002 Arts Victoria funded tour of Talking Heads by Alan Bennett and directed by Gary Down. Also for a 2017 Creative Victoria funded tour of Willy Russell’s Shirley Valentine directed by Denny Lawrence.

Of all his compositions, one he is particularly proud of is the song ‘My Angel’, written about his daughter Lara when she was born.
